There are HOT RODS and then there are hot rods. I'm building a 1972 Honda AZ600 microcar. The original engine was an air cooled twin-cylinder 600cc wheezer. It's getting a 2009 Kawasaki Concours ZG1400 four cylinder! That's a ZX14 with variable cam timing. A bit less power, but stronger midrange. Power will be sent to a rear differential. This is gonna be fun.

OH HELL YEAH I want to see this car! I love Micro cars first off, second off I have a 72ish 600 coupe in my history and a roadster. I really dig those cars and want to see photos PLEASE, Pretty please?

I'll be glad to keep you up to date. But so far the car project is in it's infancy. I have the car and the engine. I'm engineering the power transmission to a rear differential now. It's not simple. So little room to fit what it needs. And I do plan on it being a complete car with factory reliability and finish. This will probably take a couple of years.
I had a Road Star that I built to an 1800 beast and it was sweet. Now I have a Roadliner and it's sweeter. But the AZ600 needs MORE power than a V-Twin can give it. I shopped for a V-Max 1700, but they're impossible to find. So the AZ600 gets a "wimpy" ZG1400 engine.
